I was so incredibly cold last night it was ridiculous. My friend and I went and saw Casino Royale (second time for me) last night and then got some dinner thankfully near my apartment. It was difficult making those last two blocks home. This morning while out running an errand I saw a formation of geese overhead flying south. I guess it's truly time for me to go into my self-imposed hibernation. This Texas girl is still not ready for the cold to last more than...a week at most.
The good news is that while sequestered away in my apartment, I should have more than enough time to write, among other things. I have also played quite a bit of piano lately since I received my keyboard as an early Christmas gift the other day. I think it helps to focus creative energies on something else. After a few days of indulging my inner pianist, I wrote like a madwoman. Or...I guess I should say edited somewhat like a madwoman. I've been working on this new idea and went back and edited the little that I had.
They may raise them tough down South, but we are not brought up with defenses against the cold. Case in point: a little bit of ice, or maybe 3/4" of snow will pretty much shut down the entire city of Dallas. Here, from what I've heard, there are voluntary snow days. You're snowed in (from a Southerner's point of view) and some crazy people still decide to brave the danger for their employer. Or their paycheck.
The luck that I have of living a practically a less than 10 minute walk to work excludes me from these voluntary snow days. If I was not excluded, I would probably work from home until the groundhog sees his shadow.
